Chapter 271 Blue Flames
Harith stood outside his wife's room, watching through the small window as she slept, sedated and finally free from pain. His sons were asleep in chairs beside her, their faces etched with an exhaustion that went deeper than sleep. The sight fortified his resolve. He had done what was necessary. Stepping away, he pulled out his communicator and dialed his friend, the man he had tasked with his patrol."Hello Brother," Harith's voice was steady, betraying none of the turmoil that had just consumed him. "Thank you for covering for me. Did something happen?""You're welcome. No, nothing unusual happened," his friend's familiar, gruff voice came through. "Not a peep. The streets are dead. What about your family? Are they safe?"Harith closed his eyes for a brief moment, a silent prayer of thanks. "They are all good, Alhamdulillah. The doctor says my wife will be fine." He paused, the weight of the unspoken hanging between them. "I'm on my way back to my position now. Thank you for coverin
Chapter 272 The Trapped Hero
The emerald fire was a cataclysm. The dragon-ghoul, a creature of impossible scale and nightmare, was methodically turning the Askalan skyline into an inferno. Its massive, serpentine neck wove between the towers, its head swiveling as it sought new targets. With a deep, guttural inhalation, it would unleash a torrent of viscous, green flame, engulfing entire floors in seconds. One skyscraper, a residential block, was already a towering funeral pyre, its glass facade melting and steel skeleton groaning in protest.Harith, from his position on the street, knew he couldn't fight this thing in a straight exchange of blows. His sword was a toothpick against this behemoth. But he also couldn't let it continue its rampage. Every second it spent breathing fire was another block incinerated, another potential shelter for civilians destroyed.“I need to draw its attention,” he had muttered to himself, his mind racing. “Lead it away from the dense areas.”He had fired his sidearm into the air,
Chapter 273 Heartbreaking Scene
Abu Qais’s phone had vibrated with a priority alert, the specific tone he’d set only for Harith. The message that flashed on the screen sent a jolt of ice through his veins: “I'm trapped on the top floors in a factory on the 5th. The ghoul is dead. But the building is collapsing.”His friend’s location was a beacon of impending doom on his map. Abu Qais didn’t think; he just moved, his vehicle screeching as he tore through the deserted streets towards the industrial sector. With every block, a plume of black and sickly green smoke grew larger on the horizon, a foul smudge against the sky.“Hold on, you stubborn old bull,” he muttered to himself, his knuckles white on the steering wheel. “Just hold on.”The closer he got, the more his heart sank into his boots. The scale of the destruction was terrifying. The factory wasn’t just on fire; it was being consumed. Flames licked out of every window, and the structural skeleton of the building was visibly warping. He could feel the intense
Chapter 274 Chaos At The Battlefield
The command tent on the southern front was a nerve center of controlled tension, a stark contrast to the distant roar of the opening battle. Hadi’s communicator buzzed with an internal, encrypted line. He answered, expecting a field report. The voice that greeted him was not from the battlefield, but from Askalan. It was Abu Qais, and his tone was heavy with a grief he was struggling to contain.“General Hadi,” Abu Qais began, his voice rough.“Abu Qais. Report. Is the city secure?” Hadi asked, his focus still half on the holographic tactical display.“The city… is secure. For now. But, sir… there’s been an incident. It’s Harith.”Hadi’s entire demeanor shifted. He turned away from the display, his full attention on the call. “What about Harith?”Abu Qais took a shaky breath. “He engaged a Ghoul. A dangerous one, a dragon-like creature. He killed it, but the building they were in collapsed and caught fire… he was overcome by the smoke.” He paused, the words sticking in his throat. “He
Chapter 275 Turning Things Around
The order to retreat from their infiltration mission came as a sharp, unwelcome crackle over the comms. Haitham’s face, usually a mask of grim determination, tightened with frustration, but he immediately relayed the command. “Fall back! The main army is in chaos; they need us. The plan has changed.”He quickly assessed his elite team. “Laith,” he barked, turning to the speedster. “You’re the only one who can get there fast enough. Return to your brother at the heart of the army. Don’t wait for us. Hazim needs a rapid-response unit, someone to link the collapsing front lines. You are that link. Go!”Laith understood his role instantly. In the space between one heartbeat and the next, he was gone, a blur of motion vanishing into the dusty landscape, leaving only a faint trail of disturbed sand.Haitham then turned to Ali and the Black Knight. “You two, head for the front lines. Marwan and Malik are undoubtedly in the worst situation, they must be surrounded on all sides. Ali, your stea
Chapter 276 A Wild Creature
Marwan and Ali stood back-to-back, The clang of steel and the snarls of Ghouls formed a dissonant symphony around them.“What took you so long?” Marwan grunted, deflecting a clawed swipe from a lesser Ghoul without even looking.Ali dispatched another creature with a swift, energy-crackling strike from his Sword. “We weren’t late. You’re just impatient. Seems that blow to your head messed up your sense of time.”“We’re in a war not your cousin’s wedding” Marwan shot back, a familiar edge of exasperation in his voice. “You can’t just stroll in whenever you feel like it.”They fought with an almost choreographed synchronicity, their movements a seamless blend of Marwan’s honed precision and Ali’s empowered ferocity. Their banter, a constant stream of Marwan’s gruff criticism and Ali’s attempts to retort, was a strange anchor of normalcy. But the normalcy shattered in an instant.A new figure emerged from the throng. It was a Ghoul, but unlike any other. It stood on two legs, with powerf
Chapter 277 Heavy Price
The moment the Black Knight’s armored form sliced through the Ghoul ranks on the front line, the tide of the desperate battle began to turn. His arrival was not just that of another warrior, but of a force of nature. Where he moved, Ghouls fell, their lines breaking under the relentless, silent efficiency of his assault.“The Black Knight is here!” a young Knight had shouted, his voice cracking with relief.The pressure on the beleaguered defenders instantly eased. Wounded Knights, who had been moments from being overrun, found the space and the precious seconds to disengage. They began to pull back, dragging their more severely injured comrades with them, creating a steady, organized flow away from the immediate killing zone.Once the front line was stabilized, the Black Knight became a mobile bastion of support. He did not remain in one place. He moved like a shadow along the fractured defensive perimeter, his presence was a catalyst for resilience. Where a unit wavered, his sudden,
Chapter 278 The Cries Of The Brave
The silence in the command tent was heavy, but Hadi broke it, his analytical mind already sifting through the data. He turned to Hazim."You fought with terrifying power today," Hadi said, his voice a mix of awe and solemnity. He brought up a new set of statistics on the hologram. "I've never seen you unleash it like that. The telemetry from your armor is... staggering." He pointed. "You alone accounted for over five hundred Ghoul kills."He then highlighted other data points. "The Black Knight, despite arriving late, eliminated a hundred, and his intervention, along with Haitham's, turned the tide. Laith and Ali provided massive support to the core army. Marwan and Malik... they were in the most dangerous position, yet they held the front, protected the recruits with them, and Marwan, with Ali's help, eliminated a high Rank General Ghoul."He continued, "You, Hazim, in addition to the five hundred, also killed two other high-Rank Ghouls. Jameel eliminated three, one of them was a Gen
Chapter 279 The Best Duo
The first faint light of dawn had not yet breached the horizon, but the Knights' camp was already a hive of silent, determined activity. Sleep had been a fleeting luxury, chased away by the ghosts of the previous day and the certainty of the one to come. In the deep blue pre-dawn gloom, every Knight was awake, armed, and armored.But the formation had changed. The near-disaster of the Ghouls' encirclement had forced a tactical evolution. This time, the spearhead was different. Hazim stood at the very front of the army, a solid, unmovable presence. To his left was Haitham, his massive hammer resting on his shoulder, and to his right, the silent, imposing figure of the Black Knight. They were the unbreakable tip of the spear.Directly behind this vanguard stood Marwan and Malik, positioned in the heart of the army. Their role was to be the flexible, powerful core that could reinforce any breach. On the left flank, Ali and Laith stood ready, a combination of blinding speed and searing en
Chapter 280 A New Challenge
The air crackled with tension as Laith became a silver-blue blur, zipping around the Giant Ghoul’s legs. He wasn't aiming to kill, not yet. He was testing, probing, his electrified sword leaving sizzling, blackened gashes on the creature’s thick hide with every pass."See? He's slow!" Laith called out, his voice buzzing with adrenaline. "We can take him!"But Ali held back, his Sword in his grip. His helmet's display was frantically analyzing the Ghoul's movements, its weight distribution, and its reaction times. "Laith, wait! Something's wrong," Ali cautioned, his voice calm but firm over their private channel."Its movements are off. It's swinging, but it's not committing. It's like it's... waiting."Laith either didn't hear or chose to ignore him. He saw an opening and took it, launching himself up the creature's back, carving a deep trench along its spine.The Ghoul roared in pain, a sound that shook the ground, but it still didn't make a decisive move to crush its tiny, fast-mov
